IluvikovZycal Island, the largest of the three, is an island made up of two caldera volcanoes connected by an isthmus made up of what is believed to be landproduced from an ancient eruption some time between 20 and 25 million years ago. The vegetation on the island is relatively diverse in comparison to the other TOP's, with a number of different tree species, smaller ferns and grasses, various weeds, and lichens and fungi. The island is home to the endangered Auroran Gold-coated Grimalkin and the Zycalerian cloud rat.

Eternium Isle, alsoan island formed from a volcanicnow-extinct islandvolcano, is the only island of the three that has any humansentient population. This is due to the fact that, prior to the original Nature Preservation Acts of 1834 that had formed the Tivot Outlying Preserves, a small community of native inhabitants known as the Aderin Tribe protested against a section of the original act that would have had them be expelled off the island in favor of preservation of nature. The inhabitants argued that because the Aderin had been on the island longer than recorded history, that they had become a natural part of the ecosystem. The Grand Court at the time ruled that they had indeed become an integral part of the environment, and the Aderin have lived on the island since, with their population staying between 150 and 250 individuals since 1460, when reliable Salovian population records began.
